I'll never forget the way I did my stuff
I did my stuff, but you called my bluff
You called my bluff and sho' enough
My dreams are gone with the wind!
Happy birthday, Irene Dunne.

Unsolicited writing advice: no. 8075: There is no such thing as serious writing. There are only writers who take their work seriously, and those who don’t. Tragedy is no more “serious” than comedy. Children’s writing is no less “serious” than writing for adults. Good writing is wherever you find it.

For Rob Weinert-Kendt—who recently saw all 5 plays in the 2025 Contemporary American Theater Festival—the only U.S. gathering of its kind that fully stages all its offerings is high-stakes, forward-looking, and in a fascinating environment.

A New-Play Fest Stands Alone
The Contemporary American Theater Festival is now the only U.S. gathering of its kind that fully stages all its offerings—and that matters more now.

Today is World Emoji Day apparently, so what finer way to celebrate than with this sensitive and poignant translation of W.H. Auden’s ‘Funeral Blues’ into emoji.

when im really sad i like to watch british crime television, because there are only like a dozen actors total. it’s comforting, like going to a dinner party with all your friends and four of them are nicola walker.

So much American use of the Britishism “sex pest” when “predator” is both correct and so much more effective.

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max
It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

The loudest shouts of the night so far are for Diana Ross, whose 18-foot train is embroidered with the name of her kids and grandkids. “Legend!” one person shouted. Another: “You can’t hurry love!”

I went to the Tate Modern yesterday. In the Rothko room with all the Serious Art Connoisseurs there was a ~5 year old kid who walked up to each painting, pointed at it and shouted 'RECTANGLE' at each one in turn, then left the room.
